Algo que escapa aos Muggles (parte I)

Tendo acabado de escrever "Ter razão antes do mainstream é tramado" onde referi, a propósito da agricultura e sem falar no vinho:
E comecei a recordar o poder da etiqueta MADE IN PORTUGAL:
Entretanto... encontrei este texto "Portugal’s climate and lifestyle draw funds to education and healthcare":
"Consultants at McKinsey estimate providing educational services to foreign students could be worth €1.4bn a year to Portugal by 2020, double the current export earnings of the wine or cork industries and close to those of the footwear sector, three traditional pillars of Portuguese exports.
...
Similar potential is seen for services such as healthcare, retirement villages and the so-called nearshoring of European back-office, marketing and research operations by international companies.
...
The qualities that draw foreign students to Portugal hold true for potential consumers of other services. Well-qualified doctors and nurses and a welcoming culture are viewed as the basis for building an export industry in medical treatment and convalescence.
...
Potential is seen in developing retirement homes and sports training facilities for foreigners. “Imagine a Danish person having their hip replaced in Portugal and being able to walk on the beach as they recover,” says Prof Santa-Clara."
Os Muggles têm dificuldade em perceber que a economia é muito mais do que controlar custos, é magia, é narrativa, é nicho, é diferenciação.
.
O sonho dos Muggles era voltar ao escudo... isso fica para a parte II.
.
Continua.
